Chapter 6

Shy

Nate didn’t leave me alone the whole day that day. After breakfast he took me back to my dorm and asked me to change into something decent and we went out again. I didn’t protest anymore because I knew he would force me.  He took me out for lunch and dinner. He also took me shopping buying some groceries and other stuff and we also catch some movies at the local cinema. It actually turn out to be fun but I’m not gonna let him know that I’m having fun. When the night finally over, I didn’t even wish him goodnight walked into my room slamming the door right at his face.

I thought I could avoid him and hide from him the next day but he managed to find me and guess what? He didn’t leave me alone the whole week. Following me around wherever I go except for classes and the restroom of course.

“Morning sunshine,” he greeted me cheerfully when he saw me walking into the college. I just glared at him didn’t even bother to acknowledged him back.

“I got some great news for you,” he said.

Without looking at him I asked, “What? You gonna stop following me? Or better, you gonna go and drown yourselves somewhere?”

“Sorry to disappoint you, sweetheart.” He laughed, “But I got better news for you. Your prince charming is coming with my parent tonight for a visit.”

I looked at him, “Really?” I asked cheerfully.

“Yeah,” he smirked, “They want to meet you at my place.”

“Wow, great,” I clapped my hand happily, “What time are they arriving?”

“Maybe just in time for dinner,” he shrugged.

“Are you going to pick them up at the airport?” I asked.

“No, they going to take the airport limo and meet us at my place. We can have dinner together,” he said smiling.

“Good, maybe I could cook dinner for them?” I suggested excitedly.

“If you want, I don’t mind,” he shrugged again. “What do you want to cook?”

“Well I remember Neil love my mom grilled chicken and bread pudding,” I said thoughtfully. “Maybe I’ll cook that. What do you think?”

“Hmm, good idea. I’ve miss your mom grilled chicken,” liking his bottom lips looking so sexy. Oh my, did I say that?

“Ok then.” I said try to act normal, “My last class is at 3.00pm.”

“Great,” he said smiling, “Mine the same time. Meet me here and we could go out shopping for the things.

“Yeah sure,” I said smiling back at him.

He was already waiting for me at the entrance after class and we both walked to his car. He opened the door for me and make sure I’m all buckled up then walked around to the driver seat.  I rolled my eyes at him.

“I think one day you eyes are going to be stuck at the back if you keep on rolling your eyes at me,” he smiled teasingly at me. “You have been doing that for nearly a week now.”

Ignoring his remarks, I rolled my eyes at him again and he laughed. When we reach the supermarket, he walked over and opened the door for me. Well I couldn’t open in from the inside.

“Ma’am,” he teased and bowed his head at me. I glared at him and again rolled my eyes.

He pushed the trolley while we walked together selecting the stuff needed for our dinner.  We bought most of the things needed including wine, some soda drinks and beers. Nate paid for all the items and I saw the cashier was trying to flirt with him and I’m sure Nate was flirting back with her. I just rolled my eyes at them.

We stop at my place to pick-up my cloth before heading to Nate’s place. Nate’s apartment was beautiful. Well, I’m surprised caused the place doesn’t look like it belongs to a bachelor especially the one name Nate. The apartment completed with kitchen, dining hall, living hall, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The furniture was nicely arranged and the interior was beautifully decorated.

“Wow, beautiful,” I praised him when we entered.

“Thank you,” he smiled. “Make yourselves at home.”

I happily did. Taking out all the items we brought on the kitchen table and started cleaning the chicken.

“Need any help?” offered Nate.

“Yeah,” I shrugged, “You could help by cutting the veggies.”

“Yeah, sure,” he nodded. “By the way, could teach me how to make that grill chicken?”

“Sure, no problem,” I shrugged.

I was surprised that Nate cut the veggies just as I wanted without being told how to cut it, “Hey, you’re good,” I praised him.

“You’ll be surprised on what else I’m good at,” he raised his eyebrows naughtily at me.

I rolled my eyes at him, “Alright now, let get started,” I said to him instead.

After mixing all the ingredients required, I marinated the chicken using my hand making sure every parts of the chicken were covered.

“Wow, the chicken look sexy being marinate like that,” chuckled Nate.

“God, something must be wrong with you if you think naked chicken as sexy,” I scoffed.

“No,” he shook his head, “It’s not the chicken that look sexy, it’s the way you marinate it make it look sexy.

“Why?” I mocked, “You want me to marinate you too?”

“Hmm, I like that, but I have to be naked like the chicken before you could do that,” he chuckled again raising a naughty eyebrows at me.

“Yeah, then I could grill you like I did with the chicken,” I smirked.

“Aww, Shy, you’re making me horny just by thinking of you grilling me,” he teased licking his bottom lips at me.

“God, you make me sick,” showing him a yucky face. “Stop disturbing me and heat up the oven for me,” I instructed him.

He laughed, “Are you sure I’m making you sick? Not something else?”

“Nate, if you don’t stop now, I’m going to leave,” I threaten him.

 “Ok, ok,” he chuckled and went over the oven turning it on.

We finally finished preparing our dinner after much teasing and disturbing from Nate.  “Why don’t you go and take your shower, Nate?” I told him. “I’ll clean up for you while waiting for you finish yours. Then it’s my turn.”

“Alright,” said Nate wiping his hand, “Once you’re finished, you could use the room on your left. Mine is one the right, ok?”

“Right, ok,” I nodded without paying much attention to what he said and continued with what I was doing.

After cleaning up everything and ensured the kitchen was sparkling clean, I went to the bedrooms. Standing in between of the two bedrooms, I scratched my head, trying to remember which room. Did Nate say to use the left or the right one? Well, normally left should be the main room, right? I thought to myself and without any doubt I entered the one on the right.

I could hear Nate still in the bathroom and since there’s only one bathroom, I have to wait until he’s finished. While waiting I took of my T-shirt and as I was striping down my jeans, the bathroom opened and came out Nate wrapped in a towel at his waist looking like a Greek god. Both of us were stunned, staring at each other without any words and soon I realised that I was only in my underwear, I quickly tried to walk to the bed where my towel was. I forgot that my jeans were only half way down my knees and I stumbled with my face down on the floor.

Nate came running to my side laughing, “Are you ok?”

“Yeah,” I mumbled with my face still kissing the floor. “Please pass me my towel.”

Still laughing, he took the towel and wrapped them behind me, “You don’t have to be shy with me, Shy. I’ve seen girls in their underwear a million times.”

Ensure the towel securely wrapped around me, I got up, “Well I’m sure you have,” I mocked and blushing at the same time, “Aren’t you room on the left?” I asked sitting on the bed pulling the rest of my jeans out.

“No, my darling,” he chuckled. “I’ve told you my room is on the right. But it ok. I don’t mind sharing it with you,” he winked.

I glared at him, “Whatever. I’m going to take my shower now.”
